Did you square up your blocks? If your blocks aren't square it will show up when you put the quilt top together.
Did you square up the blocks as you pieced them?
This is usually something a new quilter forgets to do.

Were I worked the rule was 3 feet ,3 seconds .You don't see it it's not there.So give your self a break your making something that will be loved not judged,and by the way your quilt is lovely.

You're being too hard on yourself and all the work you've done. Whatever imperfections there may be only add character to the quilt (and IMHO, I have a hard time seeing them).
I like the colours - they're soft and their transitions give the quilt a flowing movement.
It's very true what Katier825 said - Bali Pops (as well as other brand pre-cuts) are NOT - I repeat NOT always cut accurately.
I found this out the hard way also, with my last two uses of Jelly Rolls.
Which leads me think I may abandon future purchases in my effort to save cutting time.
When in actuality, it adds more time to the piecing process by having to make up for the supplier's inaccuracy.
But to say again, I think your quilt is great! :lol: :thumbup: :lol: :thumbup: :lol: :thumbup:

I feel your pain. It is so disappointing not to have enough contrast, but so easy for it to happen. I do think the quilt is easy on the eye but if the contrast was stronger it would have been amzing- lovely fabric choice (and your piecing looks good to me too)

I think it looks just fine! You may have had problems with matching points, etc., because you used Bali pops. I haven't bought any, but I've heard that the Bali pops aren't cut by machine. They're cut by hand, and are not at all a perfect 2-1/2". Just that as an issue could have caused all the problems you encountered.

I like it, too. When it is quilted, it will look different, also. Put it back a couple of days, pull it out. It will look totally different then it does when you are working on it.
